Sint-Truidense vs Standard Liege Predictions

• Both teams scored in both league meetings last season.
• St Truiden played a hefty 10 pre-season fixtures and scored in eight of those.
• Liege have conceded in 10 of their last 11 away games.

Both teams capable of scoring in season opener

Sint-Truiden entertain Standard Liege in the opening round of Belgian First Division A fixtures on Sunday in what could be a close game.

Liege finished 13 points ahead of their hosts last season but Sint Truiden should benefit from home advantage, and a busy pre-season schedule where they played 10 games – winning six and losing just two.

As such, the match result market is best avoided and both teams to score looks a strong option for the main bet.

Both teams scored in both fixtures between these sides last season, a 1-1 draw and a 2-1 win for the visitors at this venue.

Liege struggled for clean sheets on their travels last term as they managed just one shut-out in their final 11 away games, while St Truiden hit nine goals across their final four home fixtures but managed just one clean sheet themselves during that run and conceded on average 1.1 goals-per-game at home over the course of the First Division A season.

De Kanaries had a mixed home record last season with six wins, four draws and seven losses but Liege had an identical record away.

With home advantage for St Truiden, these teams look evenly matched and that is reflected in the 1-1 correct score prediction.
